Symptom of IC?

Does interstitial cystitis cause microscopic hematuria?  I have all the symptoms of IC but have not seen hematuria listed as one.  A bladder infection has been ruled out.  Thanks!

I have been diagnosed with IC and am an IC support group leader, not all IC patients show blood in their urine.  I only do when I have an infection.  If you would like some

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!

Interstitial cystitis can cause a variety of symptoms including microscopic hematuria due to pin point bleeding of the bladder wall by recurrent irritation. Hence if you have microscopic hematuria, you can still have interstitial cystitis.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
